Riassunto

Viene presentato un documento relativo alla determinazione dell’albuminuria preparato all’interno del Gruppo di Studio Intersocietario Diabete Mellito SIBioC-SIMeL.

Le indicazioni contenute nel documento sono state elaborate a partire dai lavori del Gruppo di Studio IFCC-NKDEP sull’argomento e riflettono le evidenze disponibili al momento, ma sono orientate alla misura e all’interpretazione del dato nell’ambito della nefropatia diabetica.

Le raccomandazioni riguardano la parte preanalitica, analitica e interpretativa della misura; le indicazioni sulle quali esiste unanime consenso sono riassunte in Tabelle esplicative.

Summary

Recommendations on the urine albumin measurement for diabetic nephropathy diagnosis and monitoring

We present here a paper on urine albumin measurement elaborated within the Working Group on Diabetes Mellitus (SIBioC-SIMeL). The suggestions included are based on the papers prepared by the IFCC-NKDEP Working Group on urine albumin measurement and are based on the best available evidence; they are, however, directed at the management of the test for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetic nephropathy. The recommendations relate to the pre-analytical, analytical and interpretative phases. The suggestions based on an established expert consensus are summarised in a table.
